    This guy has the confidence and vision to make a change... yes, it is a leap of faith, but without someone selling the idea... others will be selling their ideas. I wish him the best and great success... and I wish all of us the same great success... we are all selling ourselves whether we can see it, or not; we must dream the vision, push forward, aim for the best, and take that leap of faith.

    This guy has a track recording for producing. He is “new” to the City of SF but he’s been around the world investing and making money. Someone in the comments called him a “baby Trump.” Okay, his NYC office is up the street from Trump Tower; his multi story office and veranda has a better view of Central Park than Trump. He didn’t get there buying bad property and burning money. His billion dollar San Francisco investment will make him money and help make the city more prosperous. I don’t know him but I’ve been paying attention to him and his investments for several years.

    Ask any CE realtor in downtown SF, the real vacancy rate is near 60%. Most tenants are just paying the rent until it the lease is up. It’s set to get worse when the Q1 leases are set to expire. But the greater problem is this guy’s “vision” of SF is what killed SF. VCs and and deep funded start ups doesn’t make an SF for everyone. It makes one for very few.

      The only thing that will last in San Francisco are those redwood trees. That is if people from out of town who don't understand those baby trees are of a species of the tallest and can become nearly the oldest trees on Earth. The trees are a tourist attraction. Building under and around the trees would be far more lucrative and appreciated by the Bay Area Elite.

    Downtown San Francisco will never recover until employers grow the balls to tell employees they need to come into work. Downtown is dying a slow death, which is still continuing and this will continue until big balls are grown. Other cities have recovered. This is the result of San Francisco mentality and it needs to change.

      the city has been doing a lot of those things like care court started a year early for San Francisco county with 6 other counties for drug users and homeless refusing treatment in October. Also I can say San Francisco is way better , but I feel like it some companies paying off people to rob things because it does seem organized.

    One building did not transform San Francisco no more than Sales Force Tower rejuvenated San Francisco. The booming tech sector (now diffused globally) combined with government policy of near 0% interest rates (for almost a decade) is what revitalized the S.F. Bay Area. The super-liberal policies of the past no longer align with the economic realities the Bay Area wants must NOW face.
    1) The Tenderloin needs to go - times up
    2) Stop dreaming and look to how other countries maintain control of their global cities (Paris, Rome, London, etc,) and not let crime run rampant
    Address the crime, remove the dead wood in government and business will come back. The current mayor is not fit for the office .
